RE: Displaying the GAL on a web page
Wow. I would think the higher-ups would have more sense than to post the GAL on an external web page. If it can be done, the only way I am seeing right now (and keep in mind, I have given uo caffine, so I haven't been thinking well) is exporting the GAL into a csv file and then tagging the names with a mailto link to their smtp addresses on the wbe page. Two problems though - again, if this is external, someone could easily copy the addresses and use them to do spam mass mailings, and two - if you have a lot of users, it will take longer to load all of those names onto a page. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] at INTERNET Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 9:07 AM To: Balen, Steve B - Raleigh, NC; [EMAIL PROTECTED] at INTERNET Subject: Displaying the GAL on a web page here's the situation.

RE: Displaying the GAL on a web page
Note that GalMod, as CDO, is Microsoft a technology which runs only on Microsoft's own IIS Webserver. If you need something running on your *NIX platform you probably need to develop your own solution using Perl with LDAP. Maybe PHP can also be used with LDAP but I don't know because I'm not doing those things If you could convince your management to let it running on Microsoft IIS, here's a ready-to-use sample app: http://www.cdolive.com/phonelist.htm. Available in source for free and you could customize it to fit your needs or hire somebody who can do.
